WEBVTT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE KCRA3 APT TO GET A NOTIFICATION ON YOUR MOBILE DEVICE. DESPITE THE ONGOING DEBATE ON CAPITOL HILL, THE NEXT PHASE OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WILL KICK IN. AT EXACTLY 8:00 TOMORROW MORNING, UNINSURED CALIFORNIANS WILL BE ABLE TO SIGN UP FOR HEALTH INSURANCE THROUGH COVERED CALIFORNIA. THEY ARE EXPECTING AS MANY AS 4000 CALLS PER DAY. THE AGENCIES THAT WILL DELIVER THAT HEALTH CARE SAY THEY ARE AS READY AS THEY CAN BE. WITH OUR MISSION BEING ENSURING ALL CALIFORNIANS, WE DECIDED TO HAVE ALL 19 REGIONS. IT HAS BEEN BUMPY, AND WE EXPECT IT TO BE A BIT OF A BUMPY RIDE. I THINK OUR GOAL, AS WELL AS COVERED CALIFORNIA, IS TO IDENTIFY BUMPS AND TO TAKE CARE OF THEM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. STAGGERING JUST IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY. OUR ORGANIZATION IS LOOKING TO EXPAND. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OPEN UP SOME OF THE FACILITIES, BUT I THINK BY THE END OF THE YEAR, WE WILL BE OPENING ALL OF THE FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE ALREADY UNDER CONSTRUCTION TO BE 40 HOURS. THE CHALLENGE WILL BE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE STAFF FOR THOSE FACILITIES. TREMENDOUS UNKNOWNS. TREMENDOUS UNKNOWNS. HE WILL EXTEND THE OFFICE HOURS OF OUR PHYSICIANS. WE HAVE EXTRAORDINARILY STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY CLINICS. WE HAVE BEEN IN DIALOGUE WITH THEM ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN PARTNER TOGETHER. LOOKING AT POSSIBLY PROVIDING ACCESS ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS. WE KNOW THERE IS GOING TO BE DEMAND, BUT NOBODY KNOWS HOW BIG DEMAND IS GOING TO BE. THE NEW MEMBERS IN COVERED CALIFORNIA WILL SEE NO DIFFERENCE. THEY WILL BE PART OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH SYSTEM, THE SAME PROVIDERS, THE SAME ACCESS TO HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDINGS. A DRAMATIC LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WHAT IS IN THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. MORE HEALTHY THE COMMUNITY WILL BE AND THE BETTER OFF WE ARE ALL GOING TO BE. BE SURE TO TUNE IN TOMORROW MORNING AT 6:00.
